Bram Van Velde MP 166 lithograph abstract blue and black forms with bold gestural lines and layered composition

Colour lithograph on Arches wove paper. Monogrammed in brush and annotated 'EA' in graphite. From the edition of 100 + EA. Published by Jacques Putman. Printed by Pierre Badey. Reference: Mason Putman 166. Bram Van Velde’s MP 166 (1975) is a color lithograph on Arches wove paper that reflects his mature abstract language, where form dissolves into expressive gesture. Dominated by cool blue tones and deep blacks, the composition suggests a fragmented, almost architectural structure intersected by bold, sweeping lines. The layered brushwork and translucent passages create a sense of depth and instability, evoking both interior space and emotional tension. Published by Jacques Putman and printed by Pierre Badey, this work exemplifies Van Velde’s post-war exploration of abstraction as a means of conveying psychological presence rather than concrete representation.

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
